Course
Outline:
This Utilities Industry specific skills curriculum provides trainees with the courseware that enables them to perform the tasks associated with a Lineman / High Voltage Electrician. This print based curriculum has been developed to meet the subject requirements of either an apprenticeship or an organizations skills development program. When combined with on-the-job training, this program will provide trainees with the comprehensive skills and knowledge they will need to perform in this trade area.
This curriculum starts with the mathematics foundation needed to perform electrical calculations. The training focuses next on AC/DC principles and their applications. Utility lineman specific courses provide instructional skills on the different methods used in the installation, operation, and maintenance of overhead and underground power lines.
This curriculum, as modified by custom assembling the appropriate courses, applies to utilities positions such as: Electrical Lineman, Lineman / Cableman, Power Line Design, and Construction Specialist. This training is appropriate for both entry level and experienced utilities employees.
Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
Perform calculations using algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.
Understand the principles and components associated with AC and DC electricity.
Explain how to set up overhead poles and power lines.
Perform the rigging skills and deploy the proper materials used by a lineman.
Describe how line conductors, distribution transformers, voltage regulators, fuses, and switches work.
Lay conduit and pull/splice electrical cable.
Perform efficiency tests on transformers and AC and DC machines.
Select the proper type of test equipment for a particular electrical / electronic application.
List the types of devices that are part of an assembled switchgear.
Describe the functions of the equipment used in power distribution stations.
